Synopsis
Before Farideh took a devil's pact, before she was Chosen by the god-king of the Hells, there was Bryseis Kakistos, the original Brimstone Angel, first of her line. Now, at the end, there is Bryseis Kakistos again, but this time, instead of helping the king of the Hells achieve godhood, she means to kill him, and all she needs is a little help from Farideh, who should by all accounts be happy to give it. Who could object to killing the king of the Hells? Farideh, it turns out, because as always things are more complicated than they seem. The finale of Erin M. Evans's Brimstone Angels series, a battle of good and evil in which the question is as much who is evil as how they can be defeated, with fallout that will shake the Hells and the Realms.

Notes
- Part of Brimstone Angels, a solo Erin M. Evans series following the tiefling warlock Farideh.
- From the series record (Brimstone Angels): A 6-novel solo Erin M. Evans series (2011-2016) following the tiefling warlock Farideh. Book 3, The Adversary, is the same novel already Core-registered as Erin M. Evans's contribution to The Sundering -- it doubled as both works on original release and is not duplicated here; see The Sundering's own record. Only the first volume, Brimstone Angels, has an independently confirmable ISBN from the sources checked; books 2, 4, 5, and 6 are registered without one rather than guessed at.
